Blizzcon is Back

Blizzcon community members everywhere are invited to rally together in November for the return of Blizzcon.

Promising an upgraded experience, Blizzcon will bring a complete weekend of gaming, esports, cosplay, camaraderie, and the latest Blizzard Entertainment news. This will also include pregame festivities on the eve of Blizzcon.

Blizzcon 2019 will bring the heat with an array of attractions and activities for all attendees. From in-depth developer panels to world-class eSports competition, Blizzard fans are in for an unbelievable weekend.

In addition, BlizzCon is expanding to include more active hall space at the convention centre as well as the new “BlizzCon Pregame Festivities”—a fun and casual get-together running outside of the convention centre on the day before the show. For those planning on attending, this will prove to be a great opportunity to meet and make friends in the Blizzard community.

The President of Blizzard Entertainment, J. Allen Brack, spoke on the upcoming event.

“BlizzCon has served as a home away from home for the Blizzard community, a place where online friends can meet up in real life and new friendships are formed. We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone to the show this year, reconnecting, celebrating, and sharing some of our latest developments.”

Some of the greatest Blizzard esports moments of all time have taken place at BlizzCon, and this year’s show is sure to continue that tradition. Esports highlights for BlizzCon 2019 include:

The epic global finals for the StarCraft® II World Championship Series.

The World of Warcraft®Arena World Championship Finals

The inaugural global finals of the World of Warcraft Mythic Dungeon International.
